Any sort of injury or suspension to Ben and we are screwed, it's laughable we have one striker.

I totally agree. SP and the board talk the talk and roll out all the propaganda saying 'we hope to get 3 players over the line' how many times have we heard that before ?
Basically if we do not improve by January and pick up points we will be right in the s***.
We can blame FdB all we like and the system hes trying to playing, but on Saturday apart from one player this was last seasons players on the pitch, also know one knows how long it will be before Sakho is match fit ? so it could be same old same old for a few more matches to come ? we will see
I would not blame FdB one bit if he decided to walk away , although the dutch are very stubborn people by nature. This lack of transfer activity seems to me to be either we are skint or we are just useless at dealing in the transfer market .

Happy with Sakho. Really disappointed and concerned. I agree we needed a striker, a br and a gk. our squad is weak. I'm not sure what our bank balance is but we needed more to be spent.
I think we lost out on several players who were attracted to other clubs for whatever reason.
I will still go and support our great club, but I now think a painful season is ahead of us.

Teams are gonna be smashing that right flank all season and we´re going to suffer because of it. Ward not signing an extension suggested something was going to be done about it but apparently not. Getting rid of Campbell (and J Benteke) suggested we were going to be getting a replacement in as well, but again apparently not. Same story with selling Mandanda.

We have players that can play right back. Fosu Mensah can play right wing back also if necessary. Ward does not need to be playing. Tomkins can play right back. Riedewald has played right back. Kelly can play right back (he had a clanger last time but can do a job sometimes). For me I would put TFM there with Sakho and Tomkins in the middle. Include Riedewald/Dann if its 3 centre backs with other as cover. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying I am happy about what Parish and Freedman just pulled off, but we dont need to be playing Joel Ward anyway.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

"Board to back struggling Fdb" all the headlines read in these last few days.
Pish. We all know that Parish´ skills lie with public image, it´s how he made his millions after all, so getting the above into public eye is very pretty, but Palace fans are starting to see through it now.
As somebody else stated, Sakho is a Parish signing, not FdB. All they´ve given him is eight million and two loanees.
